The White House East Wing
The Rose Garden
Our leadership in scientific research

So many who “warned against Trump” were then hired by him, presumably to shut them up. And it worked; they all became spineless shills for him in the vain expectation his coattails would lead to power and wealth for them.

Steal billions from innocent people. Give at least a million to Trump and praise him profusely. Get tried, convicted, and sentenced. Arrange for a limo to pick you up at the courthouse when Trump pardons you for being a “victim of Democrat weaponization of justice.” Live in luxury as a Trump lackey.

When Trump calls someone a “terrible reporter,” they should answer, “And you’re a terrible president.” And when he refers to a reporter as “Piggy,” she should respond, “Have you looked in a mirror, sir? You’re dangerously obese.”

Let’s face it, if Trump were the powerful leader he claims to be, Putin would be trying to destroy him politically and install someone more compliant. But Putin has been interfering in our elections since 2016 (or before) to smooth the way to Trump victories. And Trump consistently does his bidding.

Trump earlier told reporters that “affordability is a Democrat hoax,” and insisted that “prices are lower now than at any time under Biden.” 🤣 He then claimed, “Affordability is a made-up word; nobody even knows what it means.”

I hope that when scapegoated Admiral Bradley testifies before Congress, he finds his backbone and declares under oath that Hegseth is lying. Trump will fire him immediately, of course. But Hegseth will also be fired because he’ll be disgraced.

Trump: “Why are immigration courts backed up? We need more judges.”
Immigration Dept: “They must hear every case.”
Trump: “What for? Aren’t they just deporting everyone except whites from South Africa?”
Immigration Dept: “No sir, some are granted legal status.”
Trump: “Fire the immigration judges!”

If reminding people to obey the law means you're disloyal to the president, what does that say about the president?

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

This is going to sound bigoted, but I often find myself wondering how much better a country this would be if Christianity had never come to our shores. Don’t worry, I think every other religion is just as idiotic.

So the Georgia prosecutor who replaced Fani Willis in the election fraud case has dropped all charges against Trump. How does this lying con artist keep getting away with everything?? "Hey, Brad, I need you to find me 11,700 votes somewhere" is clearly a blatant attempt at election fraud, is it not?

Mark Kelly is hundreds of times the man Trump is. Kelly served his country with honor. Trump has served only himself, with extreme dishonor, to the detriment of his country.

So when Trump ridiculously bragged that he had “ended 7 wars,” what he meant was that he was handing our ally over to our enemy, who was obviously blackmailing him.

Today, in the same week as Trump’s embarrassing behavior, the CDC’s website declared that no studies exist proving vaccines don’t cause autism (there are dozens). And the Coast Guard was ordered to remove swastikas from a list of hate symbols. 😡

Megyn Kelly just defended statutory rape, and many on the right agreed with her. Remember that the next time right wingers claim to be all about protecting children.

A federal judge ordered Trump to fully fund SNAP, and he immediately filed an emergency request to block the order. In other words, the court said, “Feed hungry Americans,” and Trump said, “I don’t wanna.” He’s such an evil being. No redeeming traits.
